You may wonder at the curious interior design but owner Donald Wingell has assembled a strong kitchen that will deliver some of the boldest South Asian cuisine you’re likely to encounter.

Two of my favourite dishes of the year (of any restaurant), the chili crab and the eggplant matale, are knockouts and the menu is friendly for both vegetarians and those who are gluten-free.

You’ll also enjoy some of the warmest service courtesy of Donald and his team.
